Salazar Resources has announced its upcoming exploration program following a $3.5 million private placement. Phase 1 involves 1,500 metres of drilling at the Yumi gold-silver veins in Tarqui, while Phase 2 targets the Monja copper-gold porphyry starting in Q1 2027.
Salazar Resources has announced its upcoming exploration program, starting with 1,500m of drilling at the Yumi gold-silver veins in Tarqui, followed by 3,500m of porphyry drilling at Monja. The plan follows a recent $3.5 million non-brokered private placement.
Auro Metals announced assay results from five drill holes at its Santa Barbara Gold-Copper Project in Ecuador, highlighting broad intercepts of gold and copper mineralization. The drilling confirmed continuity within the known deposit and successfully extended mineralization through step-out holes. Assays for significant portions of some holes are still pending, and true widths remain unknown.
Auro Metals Inc. announced positive assay results from the final five drill holes of its 2026 Phase I drill program at the Santa Barbara Gold-Copper Project in Ecuador. Highlights include 572.47m grading 0.60 g/t gold and 0.10% copper in hole DSB-74, extending known mineralization. The results confirm continuity and expand the known porphyry system, with a Phase II drill program already underway.
Auro Metals Inc. announced assay results from five drill holes at its Santa Barbara Gold-Copper Project in Ecuador, confirming continuity and extending mineralization. Intercepts included 572.47m grading 0.60 g/t gold and 0.10% copper in hole DSB-74, with gold grades generally moderate to strong for a porphyry system, though copper grades remain weak. The company also provided updates on its ongoing Phase II drill program and camp construction.
Sunstone Metals announced a significant update to its Bramaderos Gold-Copper Project Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), increasing the total resource by 72% to 6.2 Moz AuEq. Notably, the higher-confidence Indicated Resource category saw a 450% increase to 3.3 Moz AuEq, establishing a strong foundation for future open-pit mine development studies. The update incorporates new discoveries at Copete-Porotillo and expansion of existing deposits, with further exploration upside identified, though average grades have declined.
Lundin Gold reported record Q3 2026 gold production of 153,736 ounces from the Fruta del Norte mine in Ecuador. This represents a significant increase from the 122,086 ounces produced in Q3 2025, driven by higher grades and strong mill throughput.
Sunstone Metals has restarted exploration drilling at the El Palmar gold-copper project in northern Ecuador. Two drill rigs have been mobilised to test deep porphyry targets (T3) and magnetic anomalies (T1) to expand the existing mineral resource and exploration target.
Auro Metals Inc. reported significant drill results from its Santa Barbara Gold-Copper Project in Ecuador, highlighted by a 905.22m intercept in hole DSB-68. The results demonstrate mineralization at depth and support the transition into a larger Phase II drilling program.
Auro Metals Inc. announced significant drill results from its Santa Barbara Gold-Copper Project in Ecuador, including a 905.22-meter intercept grading 0.60 g/t gold and 0.12% copper in hole DSB-68, which is the longest and deepest hole drilled to date and ended in mineralization. The company also reported strong intercepts in holes DSB-69 and DSB-70, confirming and extending mineralization at depth and down-dip. Following the successful completion of its Phase I drill program, Auro has commenced a 20,000-meter Phase II program to further test extensions, infill gaps, and explore new targets.
